reminds me of how i lost my first Apoc, tried showing a noob what my ship can do fighting a mob spawn and accidentally must have harmed the noob with smartbombs or sth and Concord got me. Later the noob pmd me “Wow that was a great firework! Where are you??” ---

You took an unneccessary risk in a ship and paid the price. Next time you decide to explore, use an exploring ship. Also - hauling implants? Am I missing something here? There’s some things about Eve that need to be fixed - your incorrect risk assessment isn’t one. ---

That is not ganking. That is can flipping, which previously allowed you to have an easy 1v1 with a indy or mining ship. You can still do it if the prey is willing, you just need to be more aware of others that join in if you go suspect. Because of that little bit of increased risk, most so called PvP players doing this gave up, and miners get called carebears… ---

1.2 lost from Trigs and it was a surprise not knowing of their dangers? Here there are many pilots who had lost way more than that and most/we knew of their dangers. Those Trigturds were so bad that their presence in New Eden caused an uproar in-game and on the forum. ---

It absolutely wasn’t your fault OP, so don’t listen to all the vile griefers in this thread telling you that you did something wrong. Games shouldn’t be designed in a way that lets you lose! They’re just trying to troll you because they can’t go out and kill you anymore, so the only way they get their jollies is by griefing you by sitting on the forums and reading stories about how you died to NPCs. ---

For those saying read the updates, where would a player, who has been away for 6 years, go in order to get a **TL;DR** of the changes to the game? Trying to rely on all the patch notes would result in insanity. ---

Truth be told, I thought that the game updates reset those popup warning boxes when new events are introduced. ---

I mean that’s life? Yah you should just set aside time and read/skim through major changes. Or ask friends? Don’t make more excuses and set the bar lower for your self? It’s a dog eat dog world in EVE. Or when every patch comes out make a TLDR for others? And compile a list so others don’t ask the same thing? ---

Maybe bother to ask others? 🤔 Like this fella: > [@Returning Player with a few Questions](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/returning-player-with-a-few-questions/320912): > > The last time I played was probably 8 to 10 years ago, so obviously many things have changed. Some questions: Are Missiles and Drones useful or broken? My character is -9.9 sec status and obviously parked in low sec. I need to get that up while I try to relearn the game. What is a relatively quick way to do so? What other important things do I need to know about the game now? > What other important things do I need to know about the game now? The very first reply informs him of the triglavians among other things: > [@Returning Player with a few Questions](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/returning-player-with-a-few-questions/320912/2): > > What do you mean with ‘broken’, as that description is both used as ‘overpowered/way too strong’ and as ‘bugged/does not work’. Drones and missiles are working fine and are good weapon choices with up and downsides, just like the other weapon systems. You do not ‘need’ to get your security standings up. I mean, you can choose to do so but for many playstyles your security standings don’t matter. I live in null sec and security standings do very little for me, yet I have them at near maximum… > new factions: triglavians and edencom npcs will shoot you unless you have positive standings to them. They roam mainly high sec. You start with negative standings towards trigs. This comes to mind: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” 😉 ---
